Biggest Bang for Your Buck

The single most impactful change for most families: put your WiFi router on a $7 outlet timer so it shuts off during sleep hours. Your family spends 8-10 hours in the lowest-EMF environment possible with no behavior change required.

Night routine

Router off, phones airplane mode, no devices in bedrooms

Daytime habit

Phone on table (not pocket), wired when possible

Children's rule

No devices on body; tablet on table only, airplane mode for offline games

Measurement
